There are glorious views of Dartmoor National Park from this lovely Devon campsite.

Fabulous views and numerous walking and cycling opportunities await those camping at our lovely Tavistock Club Site. This pretty site lies on the central western boundary of the stunning Dartmoor National Park.

This spacious campsite accommodates up to 75 units and has modern facilities including individual shower rooms with toilet and sink, disabled facilities and a laundry and washing up area. As well as the many dog walking opportunities off-site, there are two large enclosed dog walks on site.

Tavistock, 2 ½ miles from the site, has world heritage status. It is a picturesque and ancient Stannary and market town with the beautiful River Tavy running through its centre. Whether you enjoy lovely cafes and shops or grand architecture and historical abbey ruins, it is well worth a visit.

Leave your car on site and venture on foot or two wheels and explore Dartmoor’s sweeping hills and wooded valleys. The National Cycle Route number 27 (coast to coast Ilfracombe to Plymouth) passes 200 yards from the site.

A good place to start your visit to Dartmoor is the National Park Visitor Centre at Princetown, east of Tavistock campsite. Displays and exhibitions give a wonderful insight into the history, culture and wildlife of the area. Princetown also offers excellent access to the north and south moors for hill walkers.

The beautiful village of Sheepstor south-east of Tavistock campsite is where Stephen Spielberg’s Warhorse was filmed, while north of the campsite, Lydford boasts a castle and the stunning Lydford Gorge which stretches for one and a half miles from the Devil’s Cauldron whirlpool to the 100ft Whitelady Waterfall.

Ready Camp is available at this campsite. (Please note that, although we
welcome dogs on this site, in the interest of all guests we do not
permit pets to stay within the Ready Camp tents).

This was our first holiday with our caravan and all I can say is that the site was perfect.

This was our first holiday with our caravan and all I can say is that the site was perfect.
The shower block was clean, the site was impressively well kept and the staff were polite, smiling and very very helpful.

Tranquil settings, surrounded by dartmoor excellent for walks, good little dog walking area on site ideal for those that wish to have a quiet relaxing break, campsite was well managed friendly welcome and spotless, on site shop for basic needs, staff very friendly, you can hear the road noise but soon get used to it, will visit again in the future

Despite arriving very early due to other plans falling through, we were made very welcome and shown to our site by the warden. The site and facilities were all immaculate, and toilets and showers were well appointed and generous in size. There was some noise from the road nearby, but this was compensated for by fast access up onto the top of Dartmoor very nearby. Tavistock, too, is a beautiful town with plenty to see and do. Definitely to be recommended.
